EARL 2025
The EARL Tech Conference (Enterprise Applications of the R Language) is a cross-sector event focused on the commercial use of R and Python, held in Brighton, UK.
Following last year’s success, EARL 2025 will again integrate R & Python, combining R’s statistical strengths with Python’s machine learning and web capabilities to give an in-depth view of data science applications across a wide range of industries.
Datacove, in partnership with Silicon Brighton (the hosts of the Brighton & Hove tech community), are delighted to be running EARL again and look forward to welcoming you to Brighton to connect, learn, and explore cutting-edge data science practices on 14th – 16th Oct 2025!
